The focus of this workshop will be
DanceWriting, an easy way to read and
write any kind of dance movement. A stick
figure drawing is written on a five-lined
staff. Each line of the staff represents a
specific level. Below the stick figures, 3-D
symbols are used to represent the third
dimension. Counts coordinating with the
written music are placed above the staff and the dance is divided into dance measures.

process that is based on improvisation.
Loose rules and guidelines ultimately

movement sourced both inside and

and gestures from their surroundings.

them as their own, and create a large

of curiosity and playfulness. This

1000 Rites, 1000 Roses, a new project by choreographer Peter DiMuro, is based
on the spirit common among visionaries that may be perceived by lesser minds
as crazy, touched or insane. Using the life and work of the ground breaking dancer
Vaslav Nijinsky as a starting point, DiMuro and his company, Public Displays of
Motion, are exploring wide-eyed, futuristic thinkers and doers from the past and
those present among us today. The performers involved in this project span an age
range of several decades as well as genres in dance. Excerpts from this new workin-progress will be shared during this informal performance along with selections
from DiMuro’s Future Preludes.

A Keeping Room
The Salem State campus is being transformed by ongoing construction projects. The
observer witnesses the structural bones of the buildings, the construction process,
and the change that occurs to the surrounding spaces as a result. This process is not
that different from the construction of a dance. The choreographer lays a foundation
and then adds the details through the manipulation of bodies in space, time and
energy. Join us and witness the dances built by our students and faculty.

turning Process into Profundity:
45 years of printed works by rOBert tOwNSeND
Since 1968, some of the most respected and recognized names in 20th century
art have relied on the ingenuity and craftsmanship of master printer Robert
Townsend in order to create their original prints. He established R.E. Townsend
Studio in 1975 and has since printed, taught and collaborated at institutions
such as Harvard University, Amherst College and the Fine Arts Work Center
in Provincetown.
The breathtaking roster of artists in this exhibition includes: Bruce Connor,
Richard Diebenkorn, Jim Dine, Aaron Fink, Don Gorvett, Charles Grigg, Alex
Katz, Vaino Kola, Peik Larsen, Michael Mazur, Peter Milton, and Bob Tomolillo.

MArK SHASHA:
A Narrative Impulse
Swampscott resident Mark Shasha began his career as a newspaper and magazine
illustrator. His first childrens’ book, the award-winning Night of the Moonjellies
(Simon and Schuster, 1992) was hailed by Smithsonian magazine “as a classic.”
Although more children’s books followed, Shasha’s urge to manipulate other
materials and improve his draughtsmanship led him away from illustration and
since 1999, he has been painting full time.
Painting professor Mark Malloy has selected work for this exhibition that emphasizes
Shasha’s narrative impulse and his tendency to employ compositions which draw
the viewer into the action. These features are not only a unifying element between
Shasha’s older and more recent work, but also serve to underscore the legacy of
one of his art school mentors, the world-renowned Chris Van Allsburg.

achieving and surpassing what is
expected of them are given awards
of excellence and are invited to
display their works in the Winfisky

Steve JONeS
Honors in Art: PHOtOGrAPHY
Steve Jones often proceeds with no preconceived vision and allows
images to transform and reveal themselves through creative
experimentation. He says, “I create with only one result in mind...that
the image appeals to me”. This highly intuitive creative process intersects
with his skill as a computer programmer. He devises unique scripts and
codes original effects by which he manipulates his digital drawings and
photographs in both 2D and virtual 3D. Jones creates programs by which
to synthetically create artistic forms and apply HDRI images to surfaces
for photo-realistic 3D effects. He is constantly experimenting with new
digital methods, using them to create unique works of art.

Honors in Art: PrINtMAKING
Stephanie DeFreest states that,
“An open mind and a compulsion to
merge the influences surrounding
me have always been my driving
force in both life and in art. I find
that the most interesting things
live somewhere along a spectrum
of possibilities, rather than at an
extreme end. On their own, each
component in the images I create
may not be very interesting, but
when combined they create a

realm of potential. Printmaking, in
particular the monoprint, is the most suitable method of generating these images
because it allows me to combine multiple techniques, creating a more dynamic and
unique composition.”

Artist residency:

Photography by Mary Shea
by william Shakespeare
Directed by Celena Sky April
Henry IV, Part I, arguably Shakespeare’s most sophisticated history play,
introduces one of his greatest characters, Sir John Falstaff, the dissolute,
witty and calculating mentor to young Prince Hal. Henry IV is the story of a
boy becoming a man, and that man becoming a king, the heroic Henry V. This
unique adaptation by Dakin Matthews combines Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2
into one evening of theatre; it won the 2004 Drama Desk Award for Adaptation
and the 2004 Tony Award for Best Revival Production at Lincoln Center.
Our production will be a staged reading, presented without set or costumes.
It features Professor Thomas Luddy as Falstaff and will incorporate original
music composed by theatre student Ryan Blaney. This pared down reading
uniquely engages the audience by immersing them in the immediacy of the
text and the actors’ performances, allowing each person’s imagination to take
creative flight. Come and help us create Henry IV.

Stephen Wangh will explore the
concept of the Via Negativa as an
approach to teaching with indepth discussions of particular
pedagogy dilemmas. He discusses
the view that often what stands in
the way of learning and creativity
are acquired blocks.What will be
rediscovered when one dares
to overcome these blockages is
bearable, exciting and worth the
effort.
Playwright, director and teacher,
Wangh is the author of The Heart
of Teaching: Empowering Students
in the Performing Arts, and An
Acrobat of the Heart, a physical
approach to acting inspired by
the work of Jerzy Grotowski. He is
the author of 15 plays, served as
associate writer for The Laramie
Project (Emmy nomination
2002), and dramaturge of Moisés
Kaufman’s Gross Indecency: The
Three Trials of Oscar Wilde. Wangh

The Servant of Two Masters
by Carlo Goldoni
Directed by David Allen George
Take a young couple about to be wed, add two manipulating
fathers, a saucy maid, a gourmet innkeeper, a misjudged killer, a
woman dressed as a man, awkward porters and rude waiters with
a dash of a mischievous servant and you have Carlo Goldoni’s
commedia dell’arte masterpiece, The Servant of Two Masters.
At its center is the scheming (and perpetually hungry) servant,
Truffaldino, who concocts a zany scheme to double his wages
(and his meals) by serving two masters at once. While Goldoni’s
Venetian romp was written in the 18th century, audience
members will recognize timeless comic devices reminiscent of
the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges and Charlie Chaplin’s
“The Little Tramp.”
Directed and choreographed by David Allen George with scenic
Venice designed by James Fallon and the elaborate costumes
and traditional masks of the Venice Carnival designed by Jane
Hillier-Walkowiak, this wildly funny and totally enjoyable classic
is a guaranteed delight.

Master and Disciple:
two Generations of vocal
Music from North India
Dr. Ashwini Bhide Deshpande,
assisted by Saili Oak Kalyanpur
Dr. Ashwini Bhide Deshpande is a remarkable vocalist of the
famed “Jaipur-Atrauli” Khayal Gayaki tradition and is one of the
leading representatives of a new generation of Indian classical
singers. Her voice is characterized by a blend of tonal sweetness
coupled with vitality and emotion. She is known for her unerring grasp of the grammar
of the raga and her fluency in Sanskrit. Dr. Deshpande enriches her repertoire by
composing her own melodies to many sacred texts and she continues to expand the
horizon of Hindustani classical music.
She has recorded extensively and presents concerts and master classes around the
world. Notable among her many awards and citations are the “Pandit Jasraj Gaurav
Puraskar” and the “Kumar Gandharva Samman” from the government of Madhya
Pradesh—the first female Hindustani vocalist to have been honored with this
prestigious national award.
Dr. Deshpande is also a noted teacher, continuing the tradition of the guru-disciple
relationship in Indian music and assuring continuity of the rich tradition of the Jaipur
Gayaki. She will be assisted at this concert by one of her most distinguished disciples, Saili Oak Kalyanpur.
This unique concert event is presented in association with the New England School of Music.

Gregory Fraser and
Lexa Hillyer
Gregory Fraser and Lexa Hillyer are two poets staking out
territory in the current landscape of contemporary verse.
Sydney Lea
Poet, Novelist, essayist
Sydney Lea has been described as “a man in the woods with
his head full of books, and a man in books with his head full
of woods.” His affection for story, moreover, an affection
derived in no small measure from men and women elders
in New England, colors his poetry, just as a relish for the
musical properties of the word colors his prose. His lifelong
passion for the natural world informs almost his every
utterance.
Gregory Fraser is the author
of three books of verse,
most recently Designed
for Flight (2013) and he’s
currently an editor at the
Birmingham Poetry Review.
A recipient of a grant from
the National Endowment
for the Arts, Fraser is
also coauthor, with Chad
Davidson of the textbook,
Writing Poetry: Creative
and Critical Approaches.
While he is Poet Laureate of Vermont, Lea is widely known for
his work in several genres. He founded New England Review
in 1977 and edited it until 1989. Of his 10 poetry collections,
Pursuit of a Wound, was one of three finalists for the Pulitzer
Prize. Lea has also published the novel A Place in Mind, and
recently published A North Country Life: Tales of Woodsmen,
Waters and Wildlife. He has received fellowships from the
Rockefeller, Fulbright and Guggenheim Foundations. He lives
in Newbury, Vermont, and is active both in literacy efforts
and in conservation.
Lexa Hillyer
is the author
of Acquainted
with the Cold,
the 2012 gold
prize winner of
the Foreword
Book of the
Year Award
for Poetry, as
well as the
recipient of the Melissa Lanitis Gregory Poetry Prize. She is
also the author of Proof of Forever, a debut young adult novel
forthcoming from HarperCollins in 2015. She is co-founder of
boutique literary incubator Paper Lantern Lit.

Joan Houlihan
Joan Houlihan is the author of four
books: The Us (Tupelo Press, 2009),
The Mending Worm (2006) winner
of the Green Rose Award from
New Issues Press, and Hand-held
Executions: Poems & Essays. Her most
recent, Ay, is forthcoming from Tupelo
Press. She is founder and director of
the Concord Poetry Center and the Colrain Poetry Manuscript
Conference, both in Massachusetts.
The Us is a poetic sequence spoken in the collective voice
of nomadic hunter-gatherers. Incompatible with a stronger,
more advanced culture (“Thems”), the Us must live outside
civilization in order to be free and fully alive. Practical and
canny, the Us are also possessed by a sense of awe expressed
in superstition and ritual. With echoes of classical mythology,
age-old legends and resilient allegory, it is an absorbing and
altogether unique book of poetry. Houlihan will also serve as
the judge for the first annual Claire Keyes Poetry Prize. The
winner of the prize will be announced at her reading.
Annual Faculty reading
Two? No. Three? No. Five? Closer, but no. Salem State writing
faculty will have published eight books of prose and verse
in 2013-2014, from Perry Glasser’s Metamemoirs to Kevin
Carey’s The Beach People; from Alex Peary’s award-winning
Control Bird Alt Delete to January Gill O’Neil’s Misery Islands,
Jennifer Jean’s The Fool, J.D. Scrimgeour’s Territories, and
Ann Taylor’s Bound Each to Each.
Not only that, but this year marks Professor Rod Kessler’s
retirement from Salem State. Come help us celebrate his
remarkable career as a teacher of writing. Rod has been an
inspiring guide to generations of students. Come wish him
well and recognize his contributions to the university.
